Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached property on Stowey Road presents a promising opportunity for renovation. With its non-traditional construction, the home has been well-lived in and is now in need of updating to reach its full potential. The spacious plot is particularly appealing for families, offering ample outdoor space. The accommodation includes a hallway leading into a lounge featuring a large picture window that overlooks the front garden. Adjacent to the lounge is a dining room, also with a generous window that provides views of the enclosed rear garden. The kitchen, accessible from the dining area, is fitted with modern wall and base units, and there is a convenient large store area and WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, three good-sized bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. This property is offered for sale with no onward chain, making it an attractive option for buyers looking to invest in a home that they can personalize. Located on the northern edge of Taunton, the property benefits from proximity to local amenities and easy access to the town's extensive shopping, educational, sporting, and cultural facilities. The M5 motorway at Junction 25 Blackbrook is also conveniently nearby, along with a mainline city rail link, enhancing connectivity for commuters. The front garden is primarily laid to hard standing and gravel, while the enclosed rear garden features a large patio area and a lawn, complemented by a garden shed and summer house.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Stowey Road presents a solid renovation opportunity for buyers looking to add value. Priced at £160,000, this property is significantly below the local average sale price of £313,610, making it an attractive option for those willing to invest in updates. While the overall condition is dated, with visible wear in the living spaces and bedrooms, the spacious plot and good-sized garden offer a fantastic canvas for improvement.

The kitchen, although modern in its units, still carries a dated feel and could benefit from a refresh. With renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, there's plenty of scope for enhancing the living spaces and overall appeal. The property's non-traditional construction may be a consideration, but the absence of any immediate structural risks keeps the project manageable. Overall, this listing represents a moderate opportunity for those who can envision the potential in this family home.
